phono preamp with volume?

I would go with a real preamp. WIth tubes and with gain.. Adds a lot to the music.

Our preamps were designed as stand-alone phono reproducers. The line stage provides that last bit of gain to drive an amplifier to full output, but the big deal is that it is also designed to be able to control the interconnect, which (IMO) is an essential function.

By 'control the interconnect', I mean that when the interconnect is controlled, you will no longer hear differences between cables!

The Manley Stealhead is tube has volume control and an extra line input. It is single ended only. Also comes with remote. Sounds great too.

Atma-Sphere balanced tube integrated phono preamps are fantastic, as is Atma customer service.

"Adds a lot to the music" is an exact description of my feelings about tubes.
